Poor ADME properties are also a major reason for the failure of many drug candidates in clinical trials. While formulation technologies and prodrug strategies can be employed in some cases to improve or alter certain ADME properties, these approaches often fail to address the underlying ADME problems that exist for many drugs and drug candidates. One such problem is rapid metabolism that causes a number of drugs, which otherwise would be highly effective in treating a disease, to be cleared too rapidly from the body. A possible solution to rapid drug clearance is frequent or high dosing to attain a sufficiently high pla...
